About the
OrganizationThe Society of Jesus is a Roman Catholic religious order of priests and
brothers popularly known as "The Jesuits." It was founded by St.
Ignatius of Loyola in 1540 when Pope Paul III officially established the Jesuit
Order. Today the Jesuits, the largest religious order in the world, continue to
serve the Church through its diverse ministries. About 18,000 Jesuits serve the
Church in 112 nations on six continents.

The Chicago-Detroit and Wisconsin Provinces of the Society of Jesus are
two of nine Jesuit provinces in the United States. Each province is led by a
provincial superior whose standard term of office is six years. Through the
U.S. Jesuit Conference, the nine provincials coordinate communications, higher
and secondary education, pastoral and spiritual ministries, native American
ministries, social and international ministries, and the formation of men to
become Jesuit priests and brothers.

The Chicago-Detroit and Wisconsin Provinces are comprised of nearly 600
men serving the Church in educational, pastoral and spiritual ministries across
twelve states of the midwest – from Ohio to Wyoming.

Educational ministries include sixteen high schools, six universities
and colleges, and four middle schools. Jesuits also sponsor nine
spiritual/retreat centers. Jesuits
minister in parishes and as chaplains in prisons, hospitals, nursing homes and
the military throughout the region. They provide spiritual direction to
colleagues and individuals at a number of locations. Additionally, some Jesuits
serve in ministries throughout the United States and abroad, including Africa,
Central and South America, Europe, India and China.

The Jesuit priests and brothers in both provinces collaborate with
various colleagues, civic organizations, local dioceses, and other religious
orders. As catalysts for change, the provinces invest personnel and funding in
those areas of society where they believe the greatest good can be achieved and
the greatest need is not being met. Provincial ministeries express the power of
faith doing justice by combining belief in fundamental human dignity with
advocacy for the poor and marginalized.

August 21, 2018 – As we reckon with the Grand Jury report on sexual abuse by priests in Pennsylvania and the failures of bishops to protect the children entrusted to their care, our hearts and prayers—first and foremost—are with the victim-survivors.

January 17, 2019 — Let us pray in thanksgiving for the life of Fr. Eugene F. Merz, SJ, who was called to eternal life on January 16, 2019, around 5:30 a.m. Gene died at Zilber Hospice in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin.

January 16, 2019 — It was a homecoming fifty years in the making. In 2016, Fr. Casey Bukala, SJ, moved to the Colombiere Center near Detroit, where elder Jesuits live in community, receive the healthcare they need, and pray for the Church and the Society. It was not Fr. Bukala’s first time at Colombiere, however.

January 9, 2019 — Let us pray in thanksgiving for the life of Fr. John “Jack” R. Crocker, SJ, who died on Tuesday, January 8, 2019, at Colombiere Center in Clarkston, Michigan. He was 88 years old. May he rest in peace.
